It Has Come Down to This

 It has come down to this.

A giant chasm dividing the left and the right. Each side screaming insults and accusations at the other across the dividing void. Since the middle is now an ever increasing gorge where no one from either side can stand without plunging into the abyss below, there exists no common ground to meet on. And as the expanse between the two sides grows deeper, so do the perceived differences.

The two-party chokehold around the necks of the American people becomes tighter and tighter as each side struggles for more power. Power which will be used to vilify and weaken the other side. Winners are declared by electoral votes but, these days, there are no real winners among the common citizenry. We all just lose more of our humanity, empathy, love and respect toward one another as we're all coerced into joining one of two sides.

And once we're firmly indoctrinated into a side, we're expected to fall in line behind the leaders of the side. Regardless if they're worthy of that leadership role or even posses the skill, intelligence, aptitude, and moral decency required to govern, lead, and -most importantly- unite both sides. No, it has come down to this. Two sides divided by issues they refuse to come together and resolve. Two sides that view each other as the enemy.

This is no time for parties.

How about now? Now can we have justice?

 I sat in awe as I watched Cassidy Hutchinson testify before the January 6th Committee yesterday and paint a vividly clear picture of what was going on in Trump World before, during, and after January 6, 2021. Ms. Hutchinson was the proverbial fly on the wall throughout this entire saga and provided first-hand accounts of what was said and what was done -or rather not done- during this tragic day in America's history. She was physically there when all of it unfolded. I can't imagine the soul-searching it must have taken for her to finally come to terms with the fact that she was playing for the wrong team and then  courageously decide to share the truth so the entire country could understand how dangerously close our democracy came to collapsing. After witnessing the grotesque spectacle of a human being that is Donald Trump for way too many years, I was sure that nothing would shock or surprise me when it came to Trump and his enablers and supporters. I was sure of this b...

Influencers

 Since when did we start taking to heart and branding as gospel everything the following people say: comedians, talk show hosts, podcasters, sports stars, and -generally speaking- people who are famous for being famous. These are NOT the people we should be paying attention to when it comes to important information. Let's use COVID as an example. The ONLY people we should be listening to are infectious disease experts, doctors, and WHO experts involved with tracking and tracing this virus. Add to that list anyone who is faithfully and accurately quoting these experts and using that information to try to mitigate the spread and severity of this virus. That's it. Anyone else who is NOT an expert on diseases or treating diseases can continue to say whatever the hell they want. Really. Keep spouting your bullshit about how the virus is a big hoax and how the stringently tested vaccines are dangerous and deadly and how masks are useless and how Ivermectin can cure COVID. Scream it f...

God Shut Up About the Queen

Hopefully, enough time has passed now. Out of respect, I've been holding off on posting this particular blog. It's always (almost always) sad when someone dies. People die every day. Unless the dearly departed people are close family or friends, most of us don't spend an extended amount of time or emotion mourning their loss. I don't, anyway. That's not to say that I don't empathize with those around me who have lost loved ones because I do. I've been in that situation. I've lost close friends and family members. It's a loss that can be very difficult to come to terms with. I get it. What I don't get is why millions and millions of people are so fixated with the passing of Queen Elizabeth. She obviously led a full life.  96 years.  Can you imagine? She also led a life of privilege and prestige because, well, she was  royal .  Royalty . In this modern day and age, we still have kings, queens, princes, and princesses who are revered and honored bec...
